The defeat comes as a stark contrast to the momentum gained just days earlier, when the squad secured a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. Amorim appeared visibly stunned by the lack of intensity, noting that his players struggled to replicate the approach that brought them success in the domestic clash.

The match was characterized by a toothless performance, with the hosts failing to register a single shot on target throughout the first half. Ferencvaros capitalized on the lack of urgency, securing the win behind a brace from Lenny Joseph while creating several other clear scoring opportunities.

Addressing the media in the aftermath, Amorim emphasized that he was not attempting to deflect blame but was merely reflecting the reality on the pitch. “I’m simply saying what I see, because you’re not stupid, and I don’t want to fool anyone,” he remarked. We’re not mentally ready, and today’s game was proof of it.

He took full responsibility for the result, acknowledging his role in the team’s preparation while insisting that such performances are unacceptable for a club of Milan’s stature.

Regarding the team’s mental state, the manager was firm in his analysis. “I have every reason to defend the team, so when I speak like this, I take responsibility first and foremost, because the team is my responsibility. With some high-profile deals due to expire at the end of next month.As speculation, predicting which clubs the summer’s biggest free agents will sign for There are still some massive names who are set to become free agents in the summer.

But we cannot afford to do something like this, especially in the first half, in front of our fans, at our home. We have to improve, otherwise it’s over.” “We gave ourselves all the chances we had, especially at the start.

Amorim dismissed the notion that tactical rotation or technical shortcomings were the primary causes of the defeat.

Instead, he pointed to a recurring issue regarding the squad’s ability to remain competitive on a consistent basis. “The technical aspect has nothing to do with it.

The rotation has nothing to do with it.

You can’t tell me that the starting lineup wasn’t up to the task,” he said.

He pointed out that the reaction to losing possession was significantly inferior to their performance against Inter, despite the team having had four days of rest between the two fixtures. And we’d had four days to rest.”, i remember certain reactions when we lost the ball: they weren’t at all the same as the ones we saw three days ago.
